No luck with SETBPB35 :(

One of them is the original with the large eject button, the other is a Sony with a similar 5.25" faceplate (MFD110-K0). Tried disconnecting the Sony and using just the factory drive, same issue. I am using the DRIVPARM command in my config.sys file, also driver the driver.sys option, but...

Always love that European superiority complex. Just because I haven't memorized the physical appearance of every model of IBM monitor ever produced, doesn't mean I'm a scalper. I simply want a nice color CGA monitor to go with a Tandy I'm trying to resurrect. No big deal though, I was able to...

I picked up a Tandy 1000 TX the other day and everything works great except for both 720kb 3.5" floppy drives. Every disk I insert gives errors. When I try to format a disk, it says "Invalid media or track 0 bad". I've tried cleaning the heads (manually with isopropyl alcohol & cotton swabs) and...

I might able to get down there - any idea if that’s a color monitor, or the model of the monitor?

Looking for the older style - for 1000 / SX / TX models Thanks!

Sounds great, let me know! Thanks.

Looking for a keyboard for my Tandy 1000 TX if you have one available?

Hello, I want to install the XTIDE BIOS in my 486 and was investigating ways to make that happen, and found some discussion about flashing XTIDE onto some variant of the SB16 card. I seemed to have lost that information, and can't find it again anywhere. Does anyone know which variant of the...

I just dug out my old Tandy 4825 SX and want to max it out. Can anyone tell me what the largest hard drive this will support natively? Also could I use an AMD 5x86-P75 with it? There doesn’t seem to be a way to change the FSB from 25 to 33MHz, but I can’t remember if this vintage machine would...

I have a VIC 20 that is virtually brand new. Got it as a Christmas gift a million years ago & never used it. I need to downsize my collection, so I want to sell this one since it doesn't really have any nostalgic value for me. It has a brown RF box that plugs into the 5 pin jack on the...

Bought this for a project but haven't had any time to use it. Plus I have two of them, so it's time to thin the collection a little bit! • First scandoubler & flicker fixer with DVI-I output for the A4000 Desktop and Amiga CD32 • Installed internally: plugs over Lisa, no other chip-connections...

I have a nice IIe that I'd like to upgrade to "enhanced" or a IIgs. If you have either kit I may be interested. Drop me a PM if you have either kit and are willing to part with it.

I'm trying to figure out which revision of motherboard is in my IIe. Can anyone help me out?

I have been trying to get a SCSI controller with hard drive and CDROM installed in my Tandy 1000 TL/2 for a while now. I think I MIGHT finally be close to making it happen, but I am still running into problems. At the moment, I have an Always Technology AL-500 8-bit SCSI card (a.k.a. LF-S008AT...
